LOS ANGELES – He’s called the games of star players for decades as the “Voice of the Clippers,” and now Ralph Lawler will receive an actual star of his own.
The legendary broadcaster, currently in his 37th season with the Clippers and 40th year in professional basketball, will be presented the 2,575th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Thursday at 11:30 a.m. by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.
“It’s a very, very special honor,” Lawler said after finding out the news. “Truly humbling, and it’s really exciting.”
What makes the honor on the Walk of Fame even more special for Lawler is joining legendary Los Angeles sports broadcasters Vin Scully, Bob Miller and Chick Hearn, someone Lawler’s known since he was a kid growing up in Peoria, Ill.
